Muay Boran Hawaii

Muay Boran Hawaii is a great martial arts program that reinforces the fundamentals of Maui Thai and slowly introduces the more nuanced aspects of the martial art. Additionally, they include sparring so what you learn can be put into practice. The classes are fun, engaging and well structured. Dan and Chad are fantastic instructors. If you're looking to learn a martial art, get a good workout or maybe just pick up a hobby it's a great investment. Went to the classes for years before I moved, and I can't recommend it enough.

Great coach and supportive community, classes are suitable for all levels. I have been going to Muay Boran for a year now, they host 2 classes every Tuesday and Thursday for Level 1 & 2 at 6:15 pm and 7:30 pm. You can do drop in classes, membership fee for 2 classes a week $110 or 4 classes a week $150* *Price as of writing this review Coach Dan and Coach Chad are very helpful and gives great instructions, making the class easy to follow regardless of your level.

I met Coach Dan in 2013 and I’ve taken classes with him ever since. He’s one of the nicest guys you will meet and a bada$$ at Muay Thai! I travel a lot for work so I can’t go to normal classes like before, but whenever I’m back on the islands and I’m free, I always hit up coach Dan for a few classes. You really learn a lot in a one hour session. You can even take private lessons with one or two or three other students. Highly recommended for beginners and/or experienced fighters!

Legit Muay Thai. Kru Dan and Chad are great coaches. Skilled, patient, and friendly. The workouts are tough but fun. Good for both newcomers and fighters looking to sharpen their skills. I trained here for over 2 years.

I trained with Coach Dan and Coach Chad for a little over a year. When I started with them, I was just looking for a hobby. When I moved, I left with increased confidence, a great community, a new skill set, and a healthier mindset. If you’re looking for a welcoming place to learn and appreciate the art of Muay Thai, this is the place for you.

I absolutely enjoyed my Muay Thai training class at Muay Boran Hawaii. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided great instruction. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn.

Awesome coaches and great people. This place will make you a great pad holder and spar partner. If you are looking for light sparring, play sparring, or hard sparring this place has all the mix. With an authentic thai vibe and thai teaching, Muay Boran will open up the Muay Thai journey and make you fall in love with what Muay Thai is all about.

Some Muay Thai coaches might be good fighters, but don’t have the right methodology to teach. Dan is an excellent teacher, kind, dedicated, fun and very respectful. I definitely recommend Muay Boran. Mahalo nui!

I was an overseas traveller and did 2 sessions of both Muay Thai and Muay Boran …. Fantastic classes, lead instructor has exceptional knowledge of the traditional Thai style … atmosphere was awesome, great bunch of people and very welcoming … I highly recommend this training location for people wanting to learn this great style

Dan & Chad are two great local guys who have been avid Muay Thai / Muay Boran practitioners for many years. They have experienced Thai culture first hand, often traveling to Thailand to learn and share with students here in O’ahu. You can see that they take pride in their roles as Krus. Here in the west, many Muay Thai classes can be misleading. Muay Boran Hawaii is not an American style “Mcdojo” where you are awarded prajiets or any kind of ranking system - the reward is hard work and consistency that Dan and Chad will nudge you toward if you are willing. Be forewarned, this class is not for the weak, YOU WILL BE PUSHED TO YOUR LIMITS! But this is the Thai way. It is not meant to be easy. If you are looking to become the next Buakaw, Saenchai, or John Wayne Parr - Dan and Chad are the likely duo to lead you there! Highly recommended, 5 out of 5 OOH WEEs!!!
